In this episode I share my three month review of the M5 MacBook Air 15 inch and ask one simple question: is it still worth buying now Apple has pushed MacBook prices up in 2026.

I talk through why I bought the 15 inch M5 MacBook Air instead of another MacBook Pro, how it has handled 4K video editing, AI tools, travel and everyday life, and what the new pricing does to the choice between MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. You will hear about battery life, the bigger display, the speakers and the fanless design from the point of view of someone actually living with the machine, not just running benchmarks.

I also look at Apple’s recent MacBook and iPad price rises and how they have changed how I think about upgrading my other devices, including the iPad Pro. If you are trying to decide between the 15 inch M5 MacBook Air and the 14 inch M5 MacBook Pro, or you are wondering if now is still a good time to buy a MacBook Air, this episode is for you.

I finish with a question for you: at these new prices, would you still go MacBook Air, stretch to a MacBook Pro, or wait it out.
